This was done about 6 or 7 years ago and as I have trouble remembering what I did yesterday, I am low on actual measurments. Looking at the picture, the fillet begins at the beginning of the chine forward and goes back to about 6 inches below the normal waterline. You can see where the normal waterline is by the difference in color of the blue bottom paint. The fillet looks to be about 5 or 6 feet long.

I will tell you that is made a huge difference in the quietness at anchor. I was very happy with the result.
